Description
Boost the speed and efficiency of your home Wi-Fi network with the Nighthawk AX12 12-Stream Wi-Fi 6 Router from Netgear. Equipped with eight internal antennas and capable of up to 6 Gb/s of total Wi-Fi throughout, this dual-band router supports the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless standard. Among the benefits of Wi-Fi 6 are multi-user MIMO support, which allows for multiple simultaneous data streams; OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) support, which helps to enhance efficiency and reduce latency; and target wake time (TWT), which helps to optimize the battery life of connected mobile devices.
The Nighthawk AX12 comes equipped with four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, and a 5 Gb/s Ethernet port that allows for multi-gigabit wired connections. Two USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports let you share printers and storage devices, while WPA3 encryption helps to enhance security.

I love this router. I added two Netgear AX1800 Mesh Extenders (EAX20) for our large home. Setup was a snap. Coverage is amazing with blazing speeds. Highly recommend. Previously I used the Linksys Velop system – this is a marked improvement!

Love this product. I get the full potential out of my internet. Speeds stay in the 800s-900MB/second range all the time, with no packet loss. The security is great and app makes setup and management very simple. Will only buy netgear routers from now on!

I used to need to routers to get the range, security, and number of devices to run the house. The Netgear router allowed me to go to one with room to spare. The router app allows me to control the router with ease.

I bought this router to go in a 3,500 square foot, three story house. Setup through the Nighthawk app couldn’t have been easier. Configuration and installation of updates took minutes. I’m getting great coverage in all but one room in the house.

I had trouble at first with it dropping connection and had to call Support. They told me to reset router to default settings and it has worked since then. Very fast.

I am very happy that I bought this WiFi 6 router. Once I went through the easy set up, I instantly saw how my WiFi speeds increased. I feel like I am finally getting for what I pay for from my internet provider. The app is also great! It lets you manage WiFi very good.

This router will solve your data issues. Now we only use 1 router for the entire house. Generally there are 15 to 20 connections at once and there are no data lags anymore. The very best router you can buy!!!!

Very easy setup. Solid construction. Netgear just makes good stuff.
Kyle Torp (verified owner) –
The router was easy to set up and the app is helpful. One issue we’ve noticed it that streaming live tv there is a problem where it drops for a moment then comes back on 30 seconds later. I am unsure if there is a fix for that.
Retta Kunze (verified owner) –
So far, so good. All my devices are connected and working. My 5G signal is stronger throughout my home. Install was fast and easy.
Pete Altenwerth (verified owner) –
No instruction came with the router. Contacted help and while they were help full. The help pages suggested could not be foun. The router setup properly might be great but setup is very vert vague.

I replace an old router with the Netgear Unit ; after getting help installing it, it works fine.
Caesar Huels (verified owner) –
This Netgear Nighthawk goes beyond my expectations. Not only is it a great router and mesh that provides my family with excellent coverage across many devices, but the extra tools that come with the app are extremely useful to me as the family network manager. I highly recommend this product and the services that are accompanying it. Thanx Netgear!
